    The Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken is identical to the console version. Ergo, if you have one of the console versions, this version does not add anything significant and is not worth the purchase. Though if you do not have one of the console versions, the Vita version is a great alternative.

    It's time to stop making James Bond games in such a short time. 007 Legends isn't legendary at all. It completely fails in different ways. Too bad.

    Inazuma Eleven Strikers will deliver you a soccer experience you have never had before. The great cinematic powers that the game give to you, are amazing. Especially fans of the tv-series will enjoy this adventure with ll of their favourite teams. The game is not perfect, but with some friends you can have a lot of fun.

    We found Dragon Ball Z: Budokai HD Collection to be boring and incredibly monotonous. Dragon Ball Z used to be a great television series, an awesome franchise. But what is left is something that will most probably only appeal to twenty-something men in search of nostalgia.

    This is the perfect game for kids right now. The camera position isn't always working well but overall it is really a fun game. It will bring a smile to children's faces.

    Hotline Miami is addictive, has a good story and perfect ambiance. It's violent, hard but everything is for a reason. With that said, this indie game deserves to be played.

    The most fun part of this game are the mini games. The challenge mode is nice to play, however it has its shortcomings. The camera position isn't always working so well. But the levels are different and nice to play.

    Dance Central 3 really is the best dance game for Kinect. It doesn't matter whether you're a good dancer or not, Dance Central 3 is for everybody and it's especially nice at parties.

    Fable: The Journey looks and sounds great, but lacks the smooth Kinect experience to make it a truly enjoyable game.

    Medal of Honor is trying to do the good thing. Although the game looks pretty good, there are plenty of graphical bugs. The action in the game just doesn't flow naturally because of the many slow moments. The game does better in the multiplayer modes but still there is a lot of room for improvement.

    After a series of disappointing Harry Potter games, Harry Potter for Kinect is certainly an illumination. Not only can you play seven years on Zweinstein in one game, which is exciting, but also works the Kinect gameplay nearly perfectly.

    Although the price is way too high for a game such as this, Smart As is a fun and diverse workout for your brain.

    In every review the main question is 'why would the consumer buy this?' For R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War that is a hard question to answer. Yes, it is an action RPG like great titles such as Diablo III and Torchlight II. But no, we wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.

    If you add up the numbers, Carrier Command: Gaea Mission is kind of a middle-class game. The concept is fine, really. However the cut scenes, voices and first person shooter part of the game are far from that. The new Carrier Command leaves us disappointed in its wake.

    Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is definitely worth the 15 euros. The story line, side-missions and Achievements/Trophies will keep you busy for a good 15 hours or so. Rabbit Ash might not be very innocent, despite that, he's the crazy awesome superstar of Hell Yeah!

    The Walking Dead: Episode 4 really makes us crave the season finale of the game show. The story of Lee and Clementine made such a big impact on us, that waiting a month and a half for the finale is a very difficult task at hand.

    NBA 2K13 really proves to be the king of sport franchises. The music, the atmosphere, the total package this basketball palooza breathes NBA and America. All there is left to say is that 2K13 basically is a slam dunk on all fronts.

    It seems like developer Milestone just didn't listened to feedback fans of the series provided. As a result, the new WRC disappoints. The rally game lacks an original idea. It wants to be DiRT, but isn't. A budget title according to us.

    The new downloadable content for Trials Evolution really tests your skills and reflexes. First thing that comes to mind: it's just so hard. Origin of Pain will get you hooked on Trials Evolution all over again.

    One thing New Little King's Story does is offer diversity to the catalogue of the PlayStation Vita. The adventures of Corobo are fun, and the game is solid, it is addictive. Not a home run, but a very respectable title nonetheless.

    Torchlight II is a modern fairytale and offers a surplus of great action RPG elements. Comparable to Diablo III you say? We dare to claim it's even better. An awesome, colorful dream coming to you from your computer screen. Definitely a thumbs up for developer Runic.

    Pokemon Dream Radar costs a dime, and for that you get a strange interpretation of the Pokemon world. We must admit, it's fresh, it's new. But it won't keep you playing for longer than three hours.

    The basis of Spy Hunter is fine, really. The gameplay is okay and pretty diverse. Graphics wise it lacks strength though, and the controls just don't feel right. We hope to see Spy Hunter in all its glory someday. Unfortunately that day is not today.

    Haven't we all once loved RollerCoaster Tycoon? We too were all cheery and happy when we heard about a new 3DS version of the game. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D proved to be a bummer though, not good at all. Say goodbye to your dreams.

    The gameplay of the new Silent Hill feels pretty good. It lacks in story and graphics though. The user-interface doesn't work like it should, and the multiplayer is a huge disappointment. Book of Memories could have been great but downright isn't.

    What would you do when your wife to be is kidnapped and the kidnappers let you know that she is a terrorist? Exactly, you are going on an expedition! And that's exactly what Secret Files 3 is all about. You will be visiting some of Europe's great capitals like Berlin, Italy, Turkey and other places to reunite with the woman of your dreams in this wonderful puzzle game.

    First thing that comes to mind: hallelujah, it works. One of the best PlayStation Move games so far. A diverse collection of sports for both the elderly, children and everything in between. Want to have a fun night playing digital sports? Sports Champions 2 is your game.

    The Unfinished Swan might be a very arty game. It's not a Van Gogh by a long shot. The gameplay stays the same throughout the game, and that's just plain boring. A big thumbs up for the idea, it just lacks a finishing touch, the hand of a master painter, so to say.

    Assassin's Creed III comes as an arrow lit on fire in the ranking list of the best games of the year. The semi-historic settings in New York and Boston in combination with the gorgeous woods make this game by far the best in the franchise.
